          Only the DSB can make these decisions: Panels and the Appellate Body are limited to making recommendations.

          Are free trade agreements allowed under the WTO?
          Some exceptions are allowed. For example, countries can set up a free trade agreement that applies only to goods traded within the group — discriminating against goods from outside. Or they can give developing countries special access to their markets.

      CL. – Do you know Joe, I shook the hand of Emmanuel Macron, Lee Hsien Loong and Kaja Kallas ?
      I’ll give you my autograph.

  1. ‘Why didn’t I think ahead and get a piccy taken with that woman too, whatever her name is?
    Damn, I’ll have to go back.’
